London, one of Europe’s great cities, is in the midst of the sort of crisis not seen since the 7/7 bombings in 2005. Back in March, Islamic terrorist Khalid Masood killed four people and injured 50 others when he drove a car at high speed into pedestrians walking on Westminster bridge near the Houses of Parliament. In that attack, unarmed police officer Keith Palmer was stabbed to death. Masood was shot by police officers.

On June 3, eight people were killed and scores more injured after a van containing three Islamic terrorists smashed into pedestrians on London Bridge. As reported in the Guardian, the terrorists attacked passersby with knives before making their way to the nearby Borough Market area, where they were shot by armed police officers.

As reported earlier today in the Inquisitr, tensions have been running high in London as a result of the Grenfell Tower fire, which has killed at least 30 people. The Metropolitan Police announced that over 70 people are still missing, and said that it is unlikely that there will be any more survivors.

Residents of Grenfell Tower are increasingly angry at Theresa May’s government, and the company who managed the building. It has been feared that a protest march in London this evening could spark civil unrest, and even riots, but it appears that protesters have stormed Kensington Town Hall, demanding justice for the Grenfell Tower residents. The Independent says that hundreds of protesters are carrying a list of demands that they say the authorities must meet.

When you board a London bus you expect to find a polite driver who will take you safely to your destination. What you most definitely would not expect to find is a bus driver with his trousers around his ankles masturbating. It seems this just what a passenger waiting for a bus saw last weekend. A passenger spotted a driver pleasuring himself on the top deck of a London Bus and took video on his mobile phone. Apparently the driver concerned has now been suspended whilst the bus company investigate the issue.

Now I am a non-smoker and dislike smoking intensely. I support the ban on smoking in pubs, restaurants and indoor public spaces. I don’t like being around smokers if I can avoid it. This however isn’t about smoking for me. It is about state interference in peoples private lives. If someone wants to smoke then that is their (ill advised) choice. It is their health. This is once again an example of the ‘nanny’ state. The criminalisation of something that is perfectly legal. We are getting to a situation where it will be legal to buy cigarettes but illegal to smoke them. If this passes into law we could see people prosecuted for doing something that is legal on one side of the street and illegal on the other. This Country is going mad!
